What's a cheap, brand-name wireless computer? I have a Sigma Targa
with the RDS mount, but it sucks because, as I've mentioned before, I
can't switch it out between bikes. I'd like to have a
native-wireless computer.

Specialized makes some wireless computers, and now that I work at a
bike shop, I can get a good price on them. Any recommendations for
those or other brands are welcome.

I had the exact same question a year or two ago, and I agonized over the
decision and ended up buying the Specialized Speedzone Pro. I was lucky and
got it at my LBS for 70% off. The MSRP was originially $99 from
Specialized, and they had it on sale for $29.99, so it was really quite a
bargain I thought.

It's a great computer, and I'm really, *really* happy with it. Never had a
problem with it, and the batteries seem to last forever. The one thing
about it I like the most is the inclinometer. I love being able to see the
% of grade on the road while I am riding. Solves those 'which climb is
steeper' arguments, and really puts things into perspective. The altimeter
seems to work fairly well, too. Normally, I don't like Specialized
products, but this one was right on the money. The extra wireless mount
costs $24 from Specialized, IIRC.

I am, however, seriously eyeing that new Mavic computer now. Wireless
cadence might win me over the inclinometer.

I bought the Vetta RT88 for my gf's road bike, and that seems to work fairly
well for her, although it doesn't have cadence, altimeter, etc. like the
Specialized does. She's happy with it, and it was pretty cheap, too, IIRC.
